CENTER, TX (KTRE) -

Officers
with the Center Police Department are seeking the public's help in catching a
suspect in at least two vehicle burglaries that occurred in 2012.

Marcus
Isaac, 18, of Center, is wanted in connection to an October 24, 2012 incident
in which two vehicles were burglarized at East Texas Medical Clinic, according
to a press release.

The press
release stated that CPD detectives were called out to process the scene, but "had
no suspects and little to go on." However, they did collect blood samples from
where the suspect had cut himself while breaking into one of the vehicles.

After the
blood was submitted to the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, it came
back as a positive match to Isaac.

Center
Police Detective Stephen Stroud said that he expects Isaac to be facing more
charges as other crime lab results are released. He also said that even though
it often takes time for the lab results to come back, "time is on our side."

If you see
this suspect, please call Center Crime Stoppers at 598-SAFE or send a Web tip
at www.centercrimestoppers.com.
You could earn a reward up to $1,000 if your information leads to the arrest of
the suspect.

In November 2012, Isaac turned himself in to officers with the Nacogdoches
Police Department after he saw his picture and the story about him being a
wanted man on the KTRE Website. According to a previous East Texas News story,
Isaac turned himself in for an evading arrest warrant from the Center Police
Department.

Before Isaac turned himself into authorities, the Center Police Department
sought the public's help in locating Isaac because they considered him a "person
of interest" in 14 car burglaries, four car thefts, and two home burglaries.

According to a previous East Texas News story, Center Police Det. Joey Haley
said Isaac might have been involved in even more crimes than that.

"He might have actually been involved in more felonies," Haley
said in November 2012. "We've just had a rash of car burglaries and
thefts, and all in the same general area."

Haley said Isaac isn't the only person that the Center Police Department is
investigating. He said Isaac runs around with a group of about three or four
young men, and that Isaac has numerous run-ins with the law, including several
juvenile cases.

During the course of the investigation in 2012, Haley and his partner found
a wooded area with numerous trails in and out of it in the part of Center where
the burglaries have been occurring. A search of the wooded area revealed a
Mazda car that had the kind of damage that indicated it had been stolen, Haley
said. Their hunch was right; the car had been stolen from Nacogdoches.

Another recovered stolen vehicle had been set on fire and burned to its
rims, Haley said. The Center PD detective said the series of crimes started in
late September 2012 and continued through early November of the same year.

When Haley and his partner approached Isaac to bring him in for questioning,
Isaac saw them and immediately began walking in the other direction. Haley said
Isaac kept going after he told him to stop, and his partner started chasing the
then 17-year-old. Isaac ran from them, climbed a 8-foot fence, and vanished
into a nearby wooded area.

Isaac turned himself in to the Nacogdoches Police Department a day later.
